Something very different is happening Friday in Culver City. If you are interested in art, even unusual art, this event is for you. What is so unique about these beautifully vibrant paintings? They are created by elephants!

Non-profit organization Dreams Can Come True is hosting a one night only benefit for orphaned children in Northern Thailand and elephant conservation. The authentic 100% original organic-feeling art pieces are amazingly enough painted by elephants in Thailand. These paintings will be auctioned off for charity at this special event, with 90% of the money raised benefiting elephant conservation and Dreams Can Come True programs, which teach children skills such as art, music, dance, and self empowerment.

A True “Trunk Show” 

Join artist and founder Jemma Jacques and noted celebrity artist Emma Ferreira, along with celebrities and business professionals, at the trendy Ferreira Gallery for this exclusive preview party. The paintings will be available throughout the evening via silent auction and priced from $300 and up. Live entertainment will be provided, as well as complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages.

Angel Jemma Jacques and artist Emma Ferreira at the Mix Media Green Suite for the Oscars share amazing paintings by elephants she discovered when in Thailand doing her charity work with Thai children.

The Trunk Works show will be held on March 6, 2009, at 7 p.m. at the Ferreira Gallery. For more information or to reserve your spot at this memorable event, visit www.dcct.org or contact Jemma Jacques at (310) 994-1940
